Gideon "Gidd" Melack
"Hmmmm....? Can I help you?"

The Biography

Birth Name: Gideon Melack
Aliases: Gidd, Giddy
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Birth Day: December 12
Arcana: Tower
Place of Residence: Vista Square
Evoker: Mental Shackles
Academy Semester: First Year
Class: (We'll fill this in once you're approved. This will be your class in school)

Sorority: Literature Club

Part/Full Time Job: N/A
Appearance: Gidd stands at 5’9” a tad taller than most of his peers, and weighs in at 160 lbs. He has a head of messy black hair at around eye length that he rarely keeps neatly unless absolutely needed. His usual attire tends to consist of tee shirts and baggy pants that allow for ease of movement and max comfort. On chillier days he does sport a hooded zip-up jacket. Colors of his attire tend to vary but he is most commonly seen in blues, purples and blacks.

Appearance:

Alternate Appearance: When using his persona, Gidd adopts the look of his Greek patron and resembles the popular appearance for spartan warriors. He dons a centurion helm with a bladed plume that serves more for intimidation than any practical use in combat. His face obscured by an artificial darkness the helm produces, the only thing visible within the helm are glowing representations of his eyes. The body consists of heavy plate armor that covers most of his body with a leather interior to cover joints and groin area. The armor also consists of both a purple loincloth and a tattered purple cape, which can mysteriously bellow even in the lack of a breeze.

Alt Appearance:

Personality: Gidd is rather reserved, tending to keep to himself mostly, though he isn’t above human interaction. Once he opens up he can be rather friendly, always up to speak and listen to those he knows. Though as a consequence of either being starved for human interaction or fear of losing those he cares about (or both) he can be a tad clingy and can nosy when it comes to other people’s affairs. He still has a sense of justice instilled in him from a young age and regardless of circumstances, he tends to get involved where he’s not wanted if he feels like he can help in anyway.

The Potential

Strengths: (Anything your character is skilled in, such as Martial Arts/ Drawing/ etc? You are allowed a maximum of five strengths and a minimum of three.)

—Strength Name: Throwing arm
—Description: Gidd, while out of practice, still has quite the throwing arm, allowing him to chuck his shield, rather large distances allowing for a great surprise attack. No added benefit in PvS

—Strength Name: Physically fit
—Description: Gidd didn't quite let himself go so he still retained most of his original physique from when he was in baseball. +10% dex

—Strength Name: Lucky Lad
—Description: Not all of Gidd's accomplishments were purely dependent on skill. In everything he did there was just a splash of luck that made the difference. +10% Luck

—Strength Name: Bronze muscles
—Description: Bellerophontes has a build that would make any ancient Greek hero jealous. Naturally his attacks pack just a bit more of a punch than one would expect. +10% Ppstr

—Strength Name: Quick learner
—Description: Gidd was always a fast learner in school, as such intelligence takes half as long to level up

-----
((A floating Strength is a strength you've gained inRP. For example, if you were on a Kendo team for some time, you'd naturally know Kendo which is where this strength would come in. However, be aware, it will not be as strong as any of your actual strengths and is a small plus)

—Floating Strength Name:
—Description:

Weaknesses: (You must have the same amount of weaknesses as strengths. These weaknesses pertain to you and not your Persona. IE: Physically Weaker, lack of attention span, etc.)

—Weakness Name: Magically inept
—Description: Gidd innately has low magical potential. While he can use it, it will always be just a tad weaker than if it had been used by anyone else. -10% Pmstr

—Weakness Name:Ultimate conductor
—Description: Being covered head to toe in one of the best conductive metals on the planet naturally has ill effects for Gidd should he be struck by lightning. +10% Zio damage towards Gidd.

—Weakness Name: Cracking under pressure
—Description: When in a stressful situation such as combat, Gidd has trouble gathering the concentration needed to recall his soul bound weapon. As such when in combat if the shield is not already in hand, Gidd will need to retrieve it.

—Weakness Name: Lightning rod
—Description: Electricity has a knack of being attracted to metal, and being covered in it makes Gidd one big target. 10% more likely to get hit by zio attacks

—Weakness Name: Fear of Loss
—Description: After losing his father not terribly long ago Gidd lost his drive to move forward and take risks for fear of losing those close to him or his own life. Courage takes twice as long to level up.

-----
((A floating weakness is one gained in RP. It could be a fear you inherited during RP, or an injury that hinders your character. Some can be temporary while others can be permanent.)

—Floating Weakness Name:
—Description:

Soul Bound Weapon: (This is the weapon you'll be able to summon to your hand while in combat. This weapon is special for your character specifically and allows you to fight Shadows and Demons without the need of summoning your Persona. This can be anything but a Gun (Or gun related weapon))

Weapon Name: Aegis
Weapon Description: A large round bronze shield with an imprint of a chimera on it. Roughly 3 feet in diameter with reinforced edges, it does make for a decent throwing weapon, though once its been thrown it can be a pain to retrieve.
Weapon Image: (Not necessary)
Weapon Attack Type: Strike.
Weapon Element: (Leave this blank. Only special weapons obtain an element behind its blows.)

Aegis:

Side-Arm Weapon:

Side-Arm Name: Glock 22 .40 S&W
Side-Arm Description: A standard issue fire arm for law enforcement in most areas. While plain in appearance, it ironically clashes with the more traditional warrior look Gidd has while in his alternate appearance. Still as a gun it packs a punch and is very dangerous if misused.
Side-Arm Image:

Gun:

Side-Arm Attack Type: Gun
Side-Arm Style: Revolver - Single Shot - Accuracy is increased by 20%. Consumes only one type of ammo per use. Can shoot only one enemy at a time.

The Background

History: Gideon Melack was always a meek child. He had trouble making friends and generally kept to himself. His father, one Johnathan Melack, was always a point of inspiration for him to constantly aim higher. As an officer of the law Mr. Melack started off as just a simple patrol officer but through various deeds he was climbing up the ladder eventually becoming a detective, showing his son that there’s always room to move forward.

With his father as an example Gidd would attempt to grow as a person. He started off small, first just getting to know his peers better and befriending a few of them. With some social interaction in his life, he had more motivation for studying and the like improving his grades like nothing before. Eventually he would join his middle school’s baseball team and do surprisingly well as the team’s best pitcher. This would all come crashing down on him near the end of his second year of middle school, when his father had gone missing. It was no secret that Mr. Melack was gaining some notoriety for publicly criticizing the state the city was in with its Persona using enforcers and the constant struggles between them and the psycho terrorists. It was only a matter of time really before he went missing in action.

While it was reported that it was most likely a group of psycho terrorists that took him for information, there were of course rumors that it was actually an inside job. There was no way for anyone to truly confirm any of that nor did any of it matter to young Gidd as his beacon of light that motivated him was now gone. While he didn’t completely shut down, he no longer had a drive to keep moving forward. His skills on the field fell considerably, forcing the team to drop him. No longer being able to relate to his friends, he eventually lost contact with them and his grades started stagnating, only barely getting by now.

Since then he has been drifting through life, directionless, no longer being at the top of the world as he once was. Now he has started his first year of high school still just drifting along, but with any luck his life will take a turn for the better and he can rebuild his life.

For your Throwing Arm strength you don't really need a percentage unless it's going to affect combat in PvS, you can just say he throws better than average and is skilled at it. If you are trying to give yourself extra accuracy with thrown weapons in PvS it's going to have to cap at 10% and you'll need to have a Weakness that affects PvS combat to balance it out.
